WEBVTT
BACK.
REPORTER: SUPPORTERS FOR THIS
PRINCIPAL PACKED INTO THE HIGH
SCHOOL TONIGHT TO STAND BEFORE
THE BOARD AT A MEETING.
AT THE CENTER OF ALL OF THIS IS
A 14-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO IS FACING
CHARGES FOR WIRETAPPING, FOR
ALLEGEDLY ILLEGALLY RECORDING A
CONVERSATION THAT HE HAD WITH
HIS COUNSELOR IN SEPTEMBER.
BUT THE AUDIO THAT YOU AND I
HAVE HEARD AND THAT WE'VE BEEN
DISCUSSING INVOLVES A
CONVERSATION HE HAD WITH THE
PRINCIPAL BACK IN APRIL.
THAT IS STILL BEING INVESTIGATED
AND THAT IS WHAT'S BRINGING
EVERYONE OUT TONIGHT.
THE WOOD LAND HILLS BOARD FIRST
TELLS THE CROWD THERE WILL BE
TIME FOR PUBLIC COMMENT LATER
AND PROFANITY WILL NOT BE
WELCOME.
BUT BEFORE THINGS COULD
CONTINUE, PROTESTERS IN SUPPORT
OF THE 14-YEAR-OLD STUDENT LEF
THE ROOM WAS FILLED WITH
SUPPORTERS OF THE FOOTBALL COACH
MURRAY, INCLUDING FORMER COACH
NOVAK.
>> HE'S NOT PERFECT, HE MADE
MISTAKE, HE'S THE FIRST TO
REALIZE IT.
THE WHOLE STORY DIDN'T COME OUT.
REPORTER: THE SUPERINTENDENT
SAYS PART OF THAT STORY CAN'T BE
SHARED BECAUSE THE CHILD
INVOLVED IS JUVENILE.
>> WHAT LED UP TO IT WAS THE
SUBJECT STANDITY INCIDENT
THAT --
THAT IS VERY CONCERNING TO US.
AND WITHOUT JUSTIFYING WHAT THE
PRINCIPAL DID, IT'S WHAT LED UP
TO THIS IS A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT
ISSUE.
AND WE'RE TRYING TO INVESTIGATE
THAT RIGHT NOW.
REPORTER: A FEW PEOPLE DID SAY
THE PRINCIPAL SHOULD G. BUT
STUDENTS AND TEACHERS CURRENT
AND PAST SAY THE IMPACT HE'S
MADE ON STUDENTS HERE SHOULD
OUTWEIGH THIS.
>> OUR PRINCIPAL DESERVES A
CHANCE TO MAKE AMENDS FOR AN
EMOTIONAL MISTAKE THAT ANY OF US
COULD HAVE MADE.
BECAUSE WHEN YOUR PROFESSION IS
THIS LABOR OF LOVE, EMOTIONS
WILL RUN HIVE, SOMETIMES TOO
HIGH.
LET HIM LEARN FROM WHAT HE HAS
DONE, LET THE TRUTH COME OUT AND
LET HIM ALONG WITH THE COMMUNITY
CONTINUE TO DO ITS GOOD WILL
TOWARD ALL.
THANK YOU.
